Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

Chapter 147
Normally, the only thing waiting for Bison is ruthless abandonment.

Mark found himself still relenting.

[Caribbean] stayed at the pier for two days, and was ready to leave the port on the third day.

The Art Capital no longer has what Mark needs.

These days it's nothing more than some useless invitation to aristocrats, whether it's a luncheon or an extravagant ball.Every noble or wealthy businessman wants to use his name to gain political capital or economic benefits.

This is very boring.

Mark left after Eleni, the high priest of music, promised to help him transfer the money to the Wright Imperial Bank every half a month.

"My lord, what is our goal?" Captain Wren asked.

"What if we go to the endless ice ocean in the north?"

This is a very general goal.Ren didn't directly object, he just said: "Then we need to carry out a large replenishment at the Port of Ostedding in the Northland."

Helena added: "Winter is approaching, and there will be many icebergs and even large ice floes near the north of the ice ocean. Retrofitting, enhancing its ice-breaking capabilities. As well as modifying the heating system of the vessel.”

"how long?"

"There is an important base of the Mechanicus in the Port of Ostedding. However, even if we get the full cooperation of the other side, it will take two months at the fastest, but after the modification, it happens to hit the severe winter. If we are not in a hurry, the last Let’s go in spring.”

Mark froze for a moment: "Okay then!"

Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood!Mark understands this.

The Valkyrie's right arm was too far away, which worried Mark a little.

After a moment of silence, Minnie spoke in the soul circuit instead: "Don't worry about me, I guess I won't have the strength to integrate the spirit body of the Valkyrie so soon. Mark, you should do your own thing first."

What can Mark do?
He is now in the process of accumulating, such as reading a thousand books, which happens to be in no hurry.

He smiled wryly: "If I have to say what I lack, it probably means that my [Apocalypse deck] still lacks a [War Knight]."

There have always been very few knights of the apocalypse walking in the world, which is a rare thing.

Mark simply gave up.

"Then let's go shopping."

On the surface, he looks very much like a rich man who has become famous, rich and willful, driving around on a cruise ship.

In fact, Mr. Yinhe listened to the prayers from different places and attacked everywhere.

In order to prevent the cult from directly targeting himself for revenge, Mark completely acted as a "warm-hearted citizen", asked Bison to help him pretend, and went to various orthodox churches to report.

One report is accurate.

For two consecutive weeks, the cultists along the northeast coast of the entire empire were hacked to pieces.

As for Mark himself, he put on a lot of prodigal ostentation, reading 4 hours a day on the bright side, and spending the rest of the time eating, drinking and having fun.

It just so happened that the third girl, Anwena, seemed to have foreseen something, and she was quite enthusiastic these days. As soon as she entered Mark's study, she burrowed under the desk, and couldn't stop her.

Mark had three weeks of joy and depravity.

Just looking at the surface, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he went to play the role of the High Sin Priest.

Only Mark's closest comrades-in-arms can clearly feel that his spiritual power is increasing day by day.

Yes, working hard secretly, and then amazed everyone, is talking about Mark in his current state.

[Eye of Knowledge] After reading day and night, his reading volume of extraordinary books finally broke through a thousand.

Just when he finished reading the last book, the "Encyclopedia of Low-Level Mysteries" gifted to him by the God of Knowledge suddenly burst into a powerful aura.

From this moment on, it is no longer a simple extraordinary book, but truly integrated with his soul.

It just hovered at a height of about 40 cm above Mark's right shoulder, hiding in the mysterious aura that Mark naturally released.Unless the other party possesses a strength far superior to Mark, they will not see its existence at all.

It is no longer a simple book, and Mark can feel that there is a space inside it that is completely different from the outside.Tens of thousands of secret techniques are inside, like fully armed soldiers waiting to go to the battlefield, waiting for the call of his master.

Even the title of the book was changed to "Knowledge Book", on the front cover and on the back cover, there is an [Knowledge Eye] opened, scanning the surroundings like a living creature, standing for Mark like a sentinel. Watch out for the enemy.

Mark has no doubt that once an enemy appears, the "Knowledge Book" will help him attack the enemy first before he, as the master, reacts.

His surging spiritual power shocked all the powerful people on board.

When Ryan arrived with his people, they saw Conrad, Hank, and Helena standing outside the study door.It's just that the miraculous vision has turned the metal outer wall of the study into the appearance of a bookshelf.

A series of translucent books filled with mysterious characters on the cover are constantly jumping on the bookshelf, as if they want to jump out.

"Master, have you been promoted?" Ren didn't hide his joy.

Helena nodded: "Your Excellency, please strictly guard your post."

"Okay!" Ren said without saying a word, let the storm team disperse, and returned to the bridge by himself.

Mark's promotion continues.

In his field of vision, everything is changing rapidly.

From being surprised at the very beginning, until now he has gotten used to the strange feeling of walking through translucent extraordinary books.

But what appeared at the end of the sea of ​​books was not pure 'knowledge', but also [destinies] that he plundered. They turned into 'history books' in the form of experience, and existed in the most special form in In Mark's soul.

Mark realized that he had to deal with these 'Books of Fate', otherwise it would be a waste. When they broke free from the cage of fate he had set, his soul would be the first to be backlashed.

Squinting his eyes, he tried to fuse these books, feeling very heavy.

This feeling is like a slight touch, and immediately a whole mountain hangs upside down above the head, pressing down firmly.

There are even faint neighings from inside the book, cries of extreme pain, and all kinds of violent roars, which make people easily think of the various demons and beasts participating in the eternal bloody battle in the bottomless abyss.

Mark finally realized that these powers from cultists and demons from all walks of life were not powers that he could comprehend and master thoroughly.

This does not prevent Mark from 'using' them.

After a divine thought, the souls of the great sin suppressed in the Hall of Valor heard Mark's grand and majestic voice proclaiming:

"O sinner who failed—"

"Your insistence is meaningless—"

"Surrender to [Fate]! This is the only value of your existence—"

The sin priests and the distorted creatures stepped out of the blood moon cards one after another. The continuous torment for an unknown amount of time had already wiped out their belief in the demon god.

The irresistible dominance crushed their last persistence.

They knelt down on both knees, and paid their respects to the existence that ruled their destiny!
At this moment, just diagonally below the right side of the "Book of Knowledge", a 'colorful' black hand appeared out of thin air.

This is the hand of evil, and the hand of great crime.

All the sinners whose destiny was robbed by Mark will be in the cage of the Hall of Valor, spitting out their vicious tongues day and night, providing the greatest spell power for Mark to use.

In the second step, Mark set his sights on the largest number of reincarnation members in the Hall of Valor.With their power, an [Eye of Reincarnation] that was much dimmer than the "Book of Knowledge" opened above Mark's left shoulder.

The third step is to condense the [Sword of Light] and the [Blade of Darkness] with the power of light at its core.It was the Guangming Bishop and Judge who fell into Mark's hands by accident to provide strength...

No one can see that behind the four strange objects, there is a thread of fate connecting them all the way to Mark's left hand.

His hand is the 【Hand of Destiny】!
Until then, Mark's condensing was temporarily completed.

In fact, there is also a [Gun of Apocalypse], but it lacks [War].

For some reason, Mark had a vague premonition that sooner or later he would create a "Seven Stars with the Moon"

"Huh—" Mark let out a long breath, and began to gather his spiritual power.

The bright aura gradually disappeared.

After hearing Mark's "come in", everyone close to him had an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Mark, have you been promoted successfully?" Helena's voice was extremely passionate.

"Well, I've been promoted to [Potato Scholar]." Mark smiled lightly. He didn't mention the improvement in destiny.

Even so, cheers still came loudly.

"Congratulations, my lord!"

"congratulations!"

One counts as one, but all the guys who deserved the name came to congratulate Mark.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the way.

People who don't understand only know that the stronger their master is, the better. Only veterans like Renn know how difficult the title of "Erudite Scholar" is.

In other sequences, the difficulty of promotion tends to rise more evenly.

Only the mysticism sequence is different, it is infinitely high from the beginning, the typical difficulty first and then easy.

It is like a ship, if the lower layer is just a sampan, the upper layer cannot be taller at all.

If its base is the hull of a dreadnought, then the choice of superstructures and weapons that can be loaded is as numerous as the sky.

It is the most difficult to advance to Sequence 6. Once the power of other Sequences is integrated later, it will form a power leap similar to a rapid increase.

It is also impossible for Ren to know that Mark, a freak, actually appeared in the promotion when he was promoted, and [child-mother thinking], which is also called the two god-level talents of Faye, is called "parallel thinking".

If you knew, your jaw would probably drop.

Amid the congratulations, Mark looked out the window at the endless sea.

"Hey, fate, don't you give me something to practice?"

Hearing his call, the dice seemed to reply "Okay!"

The threads of fate began to be rewoven silently.
